Mix matrix
Ultimately, the mix matrix denes the capability of each PRO X Control Centre.
Probably the best way to imagine the mix matrix is to think of an analogue
console layout, where inputs run vertically and buses run horizontally. A
mix matrix is usually dened as the number of buses and the quantity of
simultaneously-mixable inputs there are per bus. The following diagrams
illustrate the capability within each PRO Series Control Centre.

Processing
Although the control centre system allows for considerable insertion of external
processing, it also embodies more than enough internal high quality processing
to eliminate the need for this, in the interests of simplicity and reduced overall
system size, weight and cost.
Processing components
The processing available is:
• Up to 144 x 12 or 24dB/oct. high pass lters.
• Up to 144 x 6 or 12dB/oct. low pass lters.
• Compressor/limiters on every input and output channel with side chain
ltering and multiple operating “signatures”.
• Up to 144 gates with side chain ltering.
• Up to 144 x 4-band parametric EQs with multiple shelf “modes”.
• Up to 99 x 6-band parametric EQs with hi/lo pass modes.
• Up to 36 additional 31-band graphic EQs that utilise eects processor digital
signal processing (DSP), reducing the available eects quantity stated below.
• Up to 24 eects processors selectable from reverb, delay, anger, phaser,
dynamics, compressor and pitch shifter.
